Activision uncloaks Transformers sequel

Transformers deserves a way better game than this. This is like kicking Micheal Bay in the face. They need a better developer than activision. Movie tying games really need to step there game up.

TF rules!!!

TF ROTF?!?!?!? ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i enjoyed the 1st one want i want to see on the 2nd one still is multplayer graphics and controls either than that this looks good

i actually liked the first game, so i'm going to get this. the first game was better on ds than all others though, which is kinda weird considering the crappier hardware

YAY! new Transformers game. and you know what happens when a game is made with a Movie as a Tie-In Product..the answer is..IT WILL ALWAYS SUCK..so remove Tie-Ins. instead. Develop the game Properly..so that it won't suck..

anyway, i'm MUCH more interested in the actual movie, has anyone else seen the trailers??? The CGI looks TWICE as good as the original, it looks freakin epic!!!!

who cares about the game, unless the graphics are being developed by The Transformers CGI guys, cos right atm, the graphics suck!!!

Krome Studios is working on the Wii version? Did Activision not see the atrocity that was The Force Unleashed on the Wii?

The only way this game won't suck is if Luxoflux can pull off something that Traveller's Tales couldn't. They've got the talent, but I'll seriously have to wait and see.

the first game wasn't flat out terrible but there was a ton of things wrong. if they can fix that then this game will have a fighting chance. i want better unlockables this time around.

@Superdude687 I wouldn't consider Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from BB a movie game. Sure the character is from the movies, but the story and setting for the game were completely original, which is probably the biggest reason it was good (that and a pretty cool first person melee system). The biggest problem with most movie games is that they don't really have to try because all the people who have even a slight interest in the movie play the game thinking, "The movie was good, so the game must be too," which is usually not the case. In the instance of Transformers...the movie sucked, so how could you ask for much from the game. That whole movie was an overdone story about the nerdy teen who wants the hot chick. The only difference was this guy had a giant robot who could change into a car to help him get laid. Michael Bay just needs to stop....Bad Boys was his only good outing. Everything else he touches turns a smelly shade of brown. That's my two cents.

if its way better than the first then ill rent

The first game based on the movies was not very good... In all areas. I really hope the raise they bar on this one.... ALOT.

The game should be better than the first one as they are now custom to the 360 hardware. So this game should be a vast improvement hopefully. I remember Altered Beast on Megadrive by Activision. Was Great.

There do exist good Movie tie-ins but they're so hard to find through the tons and tons of crap. I mean King Kong on the PS2 was good, Spider-Man 1 and 2 for PS2 were good, Lord of The Rings: Two Towers and Return Of The King were good and X-Men Origins: Wolverine looks really good so don't automatically say all Movie tie-ins are crap because they're Movie games.

A game that based on Transformers should be near-impossible to fail, yet they did it in the first game. I hope the 2nd game will be a vast improvement, but at least there will be multiplayer option.

Who would have thought?

Indulge Posted Feb 9, 2009 12:08 pm GMT -12 @superdude687 It was also the only good movie-to-game adaptation out there. Personally, my favorite movie-to-game adaptation is probably "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" for GCN.

@superdude687 It was also the only good movie-to-game adaptation out there.

The first one was a complete crap. No way i'm going to buy this one unless they really make it a good masterpiece.

@Nightfox: Riddick was a great game, based off a movie.

They should hire me to make them a movie game. I can make something in Visual Basic and put it in a nice shiny box with movie art on it. There's a good chance it will sell just as well.

the best thing to do is used the modernized new models of the transformers but make a game completely seperate from the movie, like batman arkham asylum... these movies tie-ins are fated to be profit-farming rush jobs

Ooh wow. Looks great. Screw MGS4, I'm saving up for this masterpiece. What could be better than a liscensed game based on a sequel? Certainly not Zelda, or GTA.

More crappy games based on a movie. No one saw this coming. And another 2 versions for the DS... did anybody buy the first ones?

why even bother waiting for a review from gamespot when it will again be a sub par game made for squeezing every last penny from the licence

The Transformers game that was on PS2 was an epic game, all the mini bots to collect, not to mention the fact that you could fly!!! But the one recently was... "Sub-standard"

To quote my 4 yr old in regards to the first Transformers game, "This stinks, I want to play Star Wars Lego again." At least we picked it up at a flea market for 5 bucks.

Transformers the game was pretty bad with time limit gameplay r really frustrating. who wants 2 b frust playing games these days.

Horay for crap in a box

Reply to Nightfox31: actually i really liked the king kong game. i though it was well worth the rent.maybe not on 360 but on ps2 it was really fun. A good change up from the socom series and tony hawk. It was fun. But i can't really think of another one, well maybe star wars episode 3. That was great too, wasnt a whole lot to do in it but it had awesome gameplay and fun multiplayer.

Movie games are normally a tradition in mediocry, if at best. Name one great movie game out there. Its ahrd fact of life. Kravyn already said it, that people buy it for the title and familiarity to that title. Game SUCKS. Movie F*IN ROCKS

AWESOME movie, bad game

Dinobots?

The only good transformers game was based on the Energon cartoon series and even that wasn't anything spectacular. *edit* I meant the Armada series

Who really cares about another crappy movie game...

I tried & tried to play the Transformers game, but just wasn't very good. A sequel means nothing except for another possible rental to me, that is unless they actually work hard in making this one instead of rushing through it & profiting off the Transformers name.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Will not be buying this one only to forever regret it. At least the DS version was alright.

Just because a game sold a lot doesn't mean people liked it. Since many people out there don't read reviews, etc. and they buy games for no other reason than they're familiar with the name or what's written on the back of the box. So they buy the game full price, find out it sucks balls and either A. Return it or B. Trade it back in. And since there's no way to track how many games get returned or traded back in they automatically assume that that $75 million are based on people who bought and liked the game when, in reality, they bought it and didn't like it and got rid of it.

Every time I see praise for anything Michael Bay has been a part of, I lose a lot of desire to remain living.

this is cool << LINK REMOVED >>

If the PC version is another PS2/wii port, I'm going on a rampage.

The Clownformers in the Simpsons Are Funny

if the make the combat system better and if online multiplayer has sumat like capture the flag,deathmatch n hope itll be like 12 ppl a server or sumat it COULD turnout alrite

Oh yea this makes financial sense... considdering how well the first game sold and all (Especially the PC Version). I smell Game of The Year material yall. /sarcasm

What upsets me the most is, besides the idiots who buy this and the previous one, Is the fact that they are going to make Crap like this, but they cancel the really Uber stuff like the C&C First person. the games people will actually play for moar than 10minutes. It gets worse, a 50cent next gen shooter. . . . there is no God PS. There was only one Adaption to PC that was gr8, and that was Riddick

The movie will be awesome, but the game, not at all. The only good Transformers games weren't even movie based, but cartoon based. The Transformers Transmetals Beast Wars game back on the N64/PS1 was good, and the one on the PS2 based on Armada was good as well.

Given the previous Transformers Movie video game I have very low expectations for this one. If STARBREEZE the makers of the Riddick Videogames were developing this than we can be rest asssured that it would a good game. For some reason to me the most sucessful Transformers Video game was the one Atari developed for the PS2 back in 2004( Correct me if I am wrong)
